Poor quality, terrible customer service. We spent almost $20,000 on our kitchen cabinets. The finish is peeling off all over, and the joints are splitting. The crown molding is also falling down.

Dr.Macharty is great. She has a great personality. I found her through Yelp after neglecting to go to a dentist for a couple years. I find it comforting that she doesn't lecture me on flossing.

Downtown Stoughton

History

Stoughton was founded in 1847 by Luke Stoughton, an Englishman from Vermont. Many Norwegian immigrantssettled in the town from 1865 through the early 1900s. Stoughton also claims to be the birthplace of the "Coffee Break", and hosts a small yearly parade to celebrate the distinction.

For much of the history of the area, Stoughton has been the second-largest and economically important city in Dane County after Madison.

In 1919, Stoughton Wagon Company began putting custom wagon bodies on Model T chassis; by 1929 Ford was by far the biggest seller of station wagons.

On August 18, 2005, an F3 tornado cut a 10-mile path across rural subdivisions and farms north of Stoughton, killing one person and damaging hundreds of homes.

In June 2010 a third water tower was built. After it was finished, the town's name was painted on either side; on one side the painters mistakenly left out the second T, spelling it 'STOUGHON'. The mistake was corrected soon after at no cost to the city.

Events

The coffee break is said to have originated in Stoughton, when the immigrant men became employed en masse at T.G. Mandt's wagon factory, leaving their wives to fill the shortages at the tobacco warehouses, who agreed to work under the condition that they were allowed to go home every morning and afternoon to tend to chores and, of course, drink coffee. The city of Stoughton celebrates the coffee break every summer with the Stoughton Coffee Break Festival.
